Haven't seen it, but I imagine it's stylistically like Hurt Locker

I was impressed with that one. It seemed to show what went on in Iraq without glorification of violence and a level-headed look at the enemy. Actuallly, I ordered Zero Dark Thirty but forgot to change my mailing address in my profile when I moved a couple months ago. So maybe the buyer of my old house has been enjoying it. Not sure why it's still so expensive on Amazon; it was released quite a while ago.

Yeah, I think that it's similar, but more polished. My only issue was that it was the "truth" as believed by a very few and the most important question - who they killed - was presented as a fact without evidence. So For me, it was hard to believe that a director with such talent either bought into or sold a fictional story as truth. Oliver Stone would be the opposite.

  You've got that backwards. Oliver Stone had less evidence than the Warren Commission yet he came to the opposite conclusion and used his medium of "docufantasy" to convince large numbers of the moviegoing public of a conspiracy. I am eternally grateful Bigelow didn't engage in such nonsense.
